Urban Decay 24 7 Glide on Eye Pencil review

The 1980s are back when it comes to make-up, and shades of blue eyeliner are hot right now. So, on a whim, I decided to purchase a few fun colors from the blue family. How fun are these sea colors? As someone who does not wear a ton of make-up, my “don’t leave the house without it on” make-up item is eyeliner. My eyes look so plain without eyeliner!

Urban Decay has a large selection of colors from their 24/7 Glide-on waterproof eye pencil collection. In addition to these fun colors, they also classic black and neutral hues. There is a color for everyone.

I love wearing waterproof eyeliner because it stays put all day. These eyeliners glide-on smoothly and offer an even color around the eye. My only complaint is that the metal cap on the pencil is hard to remove when you want to use the pencil, the pencil itself is top notch and works like a charm.

The Dior summer 2023 nail polish collection is here! Love! This fabulous nail polish collection is filled with four beautiful colors which are perfect for the summer season. Bring on the warm weather!

Dior is giving us a little bit of everything this summer season. There is a bold white polish, a dessert bronze, a campy dark, sparkling blue, and a classic summer orange creamsicle hue. There is a color for everyone in this nail polish collection for summer.

So, without further ado, here are what the Dior nail polish colors for summer 2023 look like, and how they go on your nails.

Dior nail polish summer 2023 | Dior Jasmin

White nail polish is always hard. Every time a designer or brand introduces a white nail polish into their collection, I want to love it. There is something easy and breezy about white nail polish in the warm summer months. Unfortunately, there is not a perfect white polish on the market. I have to say, this one from Dior is better than most, but it will still be somewhat streaky after two coats. If I had gone for a third coat, I may have found perfection, but I wasn’t that ambitious.

I think Dior Jasmin will look fabulous on toes this summer since it is a neutral hue which will work with any color of footwear. On the hands, white nail polish is more visible, so if there are any streaks, people will see them. If you want white polish, this is a good one to get. It is the least streaky of the ones on the market right now.

Dior nail polish summer 2023 | Dior Rivage

How pretty is this color! Love! Dior Rivage is a fabulous orange creamsicle hue which is perfect for the summer months. It can be worn right now in the spring season too. This is a cream polish which goes on perfectly in two coats. I look forward to wearing Dior Rivage this summer when temperatures warm up a bit more.

Dior nail polish summer 2023 | Dior Solar Bronze

I am a sucker for a good metallic nail polish, and Dior Solar Bronze nail polish does not disappoint! This hue evokes a feeling of being on the beach when the weather is perfect or walking along dessert sands; pick your vibe. It is the perfect twist to a neutral for the summer months. I am wearing it right now as I type this. Solar Bronze by Dior goes on easily in two coats, with one base coat. Love that!

Dior nail polish summer 2023 | Dior Eden-Roc

Blue nail polish is always my weakness, and Dior hit a home run this summer 2023 season. Dior Edon-Roc is a dark blue metallic nail polish which glides on smoothly in two coats, with one base coat. I am in love with this color! Edon-Roc will definitely be on my rotation this summer. It is such a beautiful hue! Love!

Well, I guess you can tell I am in love with the Dior summer 2023 nail polish collection. It really has a color for everyone. I will have a hard time deciding which color to use every time I want to paint my nails! That is a good problem to have in the scheme of things.

How to fix cracked heels

How to heal cracked heels from left: heel exfoliator / foot cream /

OK, this is an age-old problem with our feet which occurs every time we are getting ready to show off our feet in our fabulous spring and summer footwear. Ugh! Our heels are cracked! Now, don’t sit there and claim you have never had this problem; everyone has this problem.

For the duration of the winter season, our feet have been hidden away in socks which are hidden inside boots. All of this warmth and moisture has allowed our heels to appear fine. They are not fine. As soon as the socks come off, and the slides, mules, and sandals come on, our heels start cracking like crazy! It is an annual annoyance.

You might already know how to solve this problem, but most people, think foot cream alone will solve the cracked heel issue. I can assure you; it will not solve the problem. We need more than foot cream alone; we need to exfoliate our heels.

Some people might think a complicated routine needs to occur to fix cracked heels, that is not the case. You don’t need to bother with foot masks, sticky stickers with big claims, or other strange routines which do not produce results, or offer too complicated and expensive a solution. There is a really simple way to heal cracked heals, and some of you may already know this routine!

2 simple steps to fixing cracked heels:

  1. Exfoliate: I don’t mean use an expensive product to exfoliate. You can use an inexpensive product which can easily be cleaned and re-used year after year. An exfoliating file is the ideal way to get rid of those cracks and smooth out your heels. They work like a charm! The one I use is no longer made, but the one pictured above has really good ratings and is quite similar to the one I use. It should do the trick!
  2. Foot cream: After exfoliating, wipe off your heels and apply foot cream. L’Occitane makes a great cream which helps soften heels. I recommend applying it morning and night; and as needed.

That’s it! If your heels are really, severely cracked, you may need to do this a few times before you are happy with the results. Otherwise, I do this once a year and it works like a charm! Of course, I keep using the foot cream throughout the spring and summer seasons. Now, if winter would go away so we can actually have some sandal weather!

Here are a few products to help make your feet fabulous for sandal season!
